Little Warriors win both games Monday

By Paige Gurgainers

Both Little Warriors football teams pulled a “W” Monday evening at their first away games of the season on Glenbrook’s home turf.  

A last-minute touchdown was made by the Apache third and fourth grade team but was not enough to come back from the Warriors’ 27-point lead.  

The fifth and sixth grade boys came to play and hit the ground running in the first quarter. Landrie Myers made an interception ending an early Glenbrook drive with Tripp Glass also recovering a fumble leaving the Apaches on the goal line looking to score.  

Brandon Jackson wrapped up the second half of the game with a long touchdown run with only .4 seconds left on the clock giving the Warriors the lead.  

The Apaches got on the board in the last quarter, but Albert Bourbon, Jackson and Grant Moore broke tackles left and right on their final drive putting the Warriors back ahead with only 2 minutes left in the game. The game saving interception was made by Taron White ending the game, 13-8.  

“I thought overall we played a great game,” said head coach Andrew Simmons. “It was a great team win with everyone doing their part. I saw kids step up and play some of their best ball of the season so far and look forward to what’s ahead for these boys.”
